[UPDATE - STREAM] - Hey there ! Important, please read !
8 years ago
Hey there guys ! Selva here : )
I have a couple of pretty important notices for you all today, so please read. Also, go to the bottom if you want to see something nice for today's stream !
FIRSTLY
After seeing how this week went by super fast, without me having even a second for drawing, I have given commissions and all some thought. I will keep on getting commissions this year, that will always stay, but I have re-worked my ToS and commission price sheet after taking in some advice and tips from a couple of people. I will be posting the new sheet once I finish typing this journal so be sure to give it a look ! : ) The ToS is not completely finalized yet, but I've been putting it off for well over a month now, so I should post it anyways. Not much has changed, but what did change is pretty important information ! I will highlight in orange the new parts to make it easier to find what is new and what changed.
Among those changes, reference sheet got a bit of a price up. It matches up with what is more commonly asked for those. However, this is the smallest change on this sheet. The biggest one, you will notice, is the colored sketches and the cel-shaded commission type. I have been noticing for a while that, altho I say colored sketches, those aren't sketches anymore. I put so much effort into trying to get good art done that I neglected to make it as it should have been, and it got me a bit of disaproval from people who asked for full illustrations, and paid for them, while the colored sketches where almost just as good for half the price. As such, I decided to keep the style I was using for ''colored sketches'' and put it as it,s own style in the finished drawing category under the term Cel-Shaded. Colored sketches got back down to what it should be, a sketch. No lineart, more rough, but more importantly, after one or two colored sketches attempts to figure out the amount of time it should take me for them, I came at a 40 minutes at minimum, up to 2 hours. Which will now be the time limit I will allow myself to give a colored sketches.
I know this might disapoint a few of you guys v.v but in the spirit of fairness and also as a way to manage my time better, I have to do this. Colored sketches have also gotten a little price upgrade, but I hope it won't be too much. The ''quality of it'' will also be reduced to fit what it should have been from the start. If anything, here are a few more examples of colored sketches, so you guys get an idea of what will come in the future : https://sta.sh/21ly5w8visvp?edit=1
As for completed art, Cel-Shaded and Painted are the two options. The two differ on the technique used to color. Painted is a bit more detailed, follows shapes and includes more variety of colors in the shading. Cel-shaded being what I have been doing for the most part on the ''colored sketches'' albeit with a bit more technique and cleaner. Since Painted takes a bit more time to do, it is slightly higher priced, but not by much, so it all depends on the effect you prefer seeing.
Anyways, more information will be listed on the price sheet !
SECONDLY
In other news, I have decided how I will be handling commissions and work for the year, and I will try to keep it as such. It might be a little strange, but I feel it will be the best for both me and you guys.
I will not take any Cel-Shaded and Painted work during the year. At least, very scarcely and will be announced. I will use a lottery system whenever I do take any Full Illustration work, since I will not open those spots often. As for the rest, meaning colored sketches, I will be taking them on the weekends I stream ! I will open 2 to 5 slots, depending on time, each weekend to get them done. It will mean that I will need to uphold my time constraint more closely as well. I also plan to keep 1-2 hours per stream to full illustration works. Honestly, it will go something like this :
Stream start once I have opened and accepted a few colored sketches. Stream time will depend on the amount I accept. This way, I can keep being productive during stream which will avoid slow streams (say watch me flat color for 8 hours I think is pretty boring). Once I finish all colored sketches, I will spare 1-2 hours for any full illustrations being worked on at the moment.
Full Illustrations will be worked on a little during streams, but mostly outside stream in my downtime. I want to keep the ball rolling as much as possible with what time I am given.
So yeah.
Oh right, I also think that along with colored sketches during streams, I will allow a ''wing-it'' option, that is cheaper, but is up to me to decide what to do with the character I am given. I will explain it more in my ToS and stream commission journal (that I need to update after today)
FINALLY
I will be streaming today, altho it starts a bit later than it should be. Woke up quite late and then got engrossed talking with my roomate... oops. I'll stream until I go sleep, if anything, so at least about 5-6 hours. However, I want to give my new stream schedule and price list a try today ! See how it goes :' )
As a disclaimer, I want to reasure everyone that the new ToS and Prices do not affect the CURRENT list ! I also know that I want to finish working on those as quickly as possible, but I am currently in a bit of a pinch and would greatly benefit from having a little side income for this month. Which is why I'll accept 2-3 new colored sketch for the coming streams. I'll make sure I can get new work done more quickly, but also keep working on the current list.
Sorry for the information dump also ! I hope we can make this work out well in the end x.x
but yeah for today,s stream, here are 3 slots open ! (I will make a stream journal after today, but here is the information you need to know for today ! )
Colored sketches can be B&W or Colored, as shown on the new price sheet : https://www.furaffinity.net/view/23390671/
Or you can request a Wing-it colored sketch, for 15$US (Wing-it means that you are giving me your character's ref and I am allowed to do as I please with them. Wether it is the composition, pose, theme... anything, aside fromt he character's design is my own free will. I will accept text description for an extra 5$ and also, I will interpret the text as I want. No adjusting, no changes. So if you feel like giving a prompt for a character and see what comes out of it, I'm game :' D ).
